I have taken both arts and I must say that Hapkido teaches techniques that are easily grasped by beginners. Front kick, knee kick,elbow strike,jab cross hook punches etc. Wing Chun , while it may be a very formidable style, takes longer to be able to use on the street. I would recommend both as being very combat worthy. My Hapkido experience is much more than my Wing Chun experience though.

I don't know very much about wing chun, but I do know that hapkido is a very, very well-rounded art (includes a bit of everything - throws, grappling, striking), though I think some people that do hapkido are so into knowing a bit of everything that they don't focus on one thing at a time and aren't proficient in each area. Mind you, I've seen some Hapkido black belts - some of the greatest fighters ever!
